Also explain why.

Mine is this fucker right here, Nikola Tesla.A recluse, kept to himself and later in life underappreciated thanks to people like Edison. Despite this Tesla just fucking got on with it, kicked the shit out of Edison with AC and dedicated himself to science. I just wish he hadn't been so crazy so that more people would have offered funding. Who knows what we could have ended up with.

Niels Bohr because we share a personality type and his theory about atomic structure was genius.
DeBroglie was pretty cool too.

>> No.1147223

Yeah. If the people appreciating the 'underappreciated' Tesla would spend only a fraction of their attention acknowledging the other major pioneers of AC rather than pretending that Tesla worked in a vacuum, maybe there'd be some justice in the world.

Instead they contribute to the exact kind of underappreciation they're supposedly trying to address.

He died mad as a hatter, literally mercury poisoning, same thing that happened to hatters from the mercury used to process felt.

He served in parliament but only spoke up once, to say he felt a draught and request the window be closed.

Though I have to say his zeal in dealing with counterfeiters was pretty badass:
Disguised as a habitué of bars and taverns, he gathered much of that evidence himself. For all the barriers placed to prosecution, and separating the branches of government, English law still had ancient and formidable customs of authority. Newton had himself made a justice of the peace in all the home counties. Then he conducted more than 100 cross-examinations of witnesses, informers and suspects between June 1698 and Christmas 1699. Newton successfully prosecuted 28 coiners
